IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG

I swear iPhone regular mode goes too hard, I need to tone these down after snapping em…

@WhiskeySandwich I’ve also had some difficulty with the iPhone taking accurate pictures of SBG. Especially in bright light, it tends to present as lighter/more faded than it does to the eye.

The jeans are looking great though!

@WhiskeySandwich exact my thoughts lately.. iPhone software is pretty lightfull lately. But you csn modify the scene you wanna use. Standard, warm etc. sometimes it helps for me. But black fades keeps hard to capture

@WhiskeySandwich one game of thrones scene said: the things we do for love.. for us aka denimheads: the things we do for fades(pics)

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Heavy_blue yup! I think that pic captures the shine well, not the gray fuzziness tho. Oh well lol. All that matters is that they’re badass

[weftyarn]

wow that first shot is wild @WhiskeySandwich

have to agree that it’s really difficult to capture this denim accurately

[weftyarn]

3 month update. So freaking difficult to capture the progress correctly..

[WhiskeySandwich]

@weftyarn those are definitely looking well worn. Any wash/soaks yet? I’m at 73 wears, nothing but spot cleaning so far. Still trying to get these caught up to my 21ib.

@weftyarn Great evo on those. The patch looks more worn out than the denim itself, but it does look good.

[Yoprst]

@weftyarn Fairly obvious fade signs, especially around the back pockets and central belt loop. Quite significant evolution of denim considering the time frame given . For the three months of wear the patch looks a little bit tired but still in good shape.
The fade pattern suggests that the pair was worn under overall or something alike, but that's just my wild guess.
The bottom line: great pair of black jeans with fabulous fading potential

@Yoprst Thanks mate! Let’s see how far I can push this, the 20+ deg yesterday were already borderline hot haha.

@the246guy this particular patch really doesn’t age well. It skews, deforms and behaves like no other IH heavyweight patch I’ve had… A bit of a bummer but a few more hot washes and it will probably darken and shrink more evenly.

@WhiskeySandwich Yup, one 1 x cold soak and 1 x 40deg machine wash in the books

@weftyarn looking great and impressive development for the relatively short wear time. My patch hasn’t skewed anything like yours, but I’ve only gone as hot as 30C with very low spin. Still though I dig how yours look, they’re gonna be amazing by the end of the year

[jerkules]

Inspired to take a few update pics of mine. Owned for perhaps 2 years, worn quite sparingly as I generally prefer indigo jeans. Maybe 2-3 days wear per week.

[weftyarn]

Wow they look amazing @jerkules

It’s shots like these that made me pull the trigger

[A Former User]

@jerkules looking very nice!

[drewfonse]

@jerkules

Beautiful, that sheen….

[jerkules]

Thanks guys.

@weftyarn yours will surpass mine in no time at all

@Heavy_blue @drewfonse the denim does all the hard work, I swear these are the comfiest ever jeans, all I have to do is wear them

[JunkPants]

@jerkules Looks great!
